Answer:

  a_k=\left|\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\right|;\text{ is nondecreasing for $k>2$}

  \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} a_k =1

  The series does not converge

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> ...

  S=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}{x_k}\\\\x_k=(-1)^k\cdot\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\\\\a_k=|x_k|

<u>Find</u>

  whether S converges.

<u>Solution</u>

The (-1)^k factor has a magnitude of 1, so the magnitude of term k can be written as ...

  \boxed{a_k=1-\dfrac{7}{k^2+4}}

This is non-decreasing for k>1 (all k-values of interest)

As k gets large, the fraction tends toward zero, so we have ...

  \boxed{\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}{a_k}=1}

Terms of the sum alternate sign, approaching a difference of 1. The series does not converge.

blagie [28]
Well, the X component (assuming x is the horizontal) is equal to RCosZ

Where Z is the angle and R is the size of the resultant

Substitute into formula :

X component = RcosZ
-3 = Rcos135°
R = -3/cos135°
R = 4.24264...
R = 4.24 (2dp)

The vertical component (or Y component) is equal to RSinZ

Vertical component = RSinZ
= 4.24264... × Sin135°
= 3

The answer is 3

Solve for x in the triangle.Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
enyata [817]

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 40° = 12/x

Cross multiply.

0.64278760968x = 12

Divide both sides by sin 40°.

x = 18.7 (rounded to nearest tenth).

What is the point slope form of Y=1/2X-2
vagabundo [1.1K]
Point-slope form of a line: We need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope "m";
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

We have the next equation of line:
y=1/2 x-2  (slope-intercept form y=mx+b)

the slope of this line is 1/2  (m=1/2)
And any one point could be:
if x=0; then y=1/2 (0)-2=-2  (0,-2)

Therefore, we already have the point (0-,2) and the slope (m=1/2)
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y+2=1/2(x-0)

Answer: the point slope form of y=1/2 x-2; would be:
y+2=1/2(x-0)
